If Americans were already concerned about the U.S.’s
vetting process for Syrian refugees, they’re really not going to like to
hear what a new report says about how those refugees are initially selected in the first place.

According
to the Center for Immigration Studies, the U.S. relies on the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to make first selections about
who has the potential to come to America, as well as carry out the
pre-screening process.

"Out of the four million-plus
registered Syrian refugees in the region, UNHCR has so far submitted
22,427 cases to the United States for resettlement consideration. Of
those, about 2,000 were accepted last year. The United States is welcoming Syrian refugees only from the 22,427 who made it through UNHCR referrals," wrote senior analyst Nayla Rush, who authored the report. [Emphasis mine]

The
report notes that one cause for concern in relying solely on the U.N.
in making the initial selections is widespread fraud within the agency,
including bribery of staff involved with the resettlement process.

Another
problem is the fact that UNHCR staff are completely overwhelmed by the
sheer volume of refugees they must process. “Since there are over 4
million refugees and 2,038 UNHCR staffers, each interviewer is
responsible for vetting 2,100-2,800 refugees each,” The Washington
Examiner points out.

"In
summary, Americans are asked today to welcome Syrian refugees without
hesitation and have total faith in the refugee resettlement program.
They are asked to give the benefit of the doubt to UNHCR staff in
tormented countries, and to trust their own government officials with
their national security — officials who are delegating parts of their
screening responsibilities overseas to the UNHCR," the report stated.

"The
UNHCR is deciding not only who can move to the United States, it is
also choosing who gets a chance to become American and who doesn't.
Given such high stakes, Americans should be encouraged to question this
opaque system," it concluded.

Everything You Need To Know About Socialism in 20 Quotes

1) "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money." -- Margaret Thatcher

2)
"It is the common error of Socialists to overlook the natural indolence
of mankind; their tendency to be passive, to be the slaves of habit, to
persist indefinitely in a course once chosen. Let them once attain any
state of existence which they consider tolerable, and the danger to be
apprehended is that they will thenceforth stagnate; will not exert
themselves to improve, and by letting their faculties rust, will lose
even the energy required to preserve them from deterioration.
Competition may not be the best conceivable stimulus, but it is at
present a necessary one, and no one can foresee the time when it will
not be indispensable to progress." -- John Stuart Mill

3)
"Socialism is when government's taking care of you, you send all your
money to the government, the government decides how to spend it instead
of letting the people spend it and make all those decisions." -- Bob
Latta

4) "We are socialists, we are enemies of today's
capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically
weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human
being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and
performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all
conditions." -- Adolf Hitler

5) "What distinguished Nazism from
other brands of socialism and communism was not so much that it included
more aspects from the political right (though there were some). What
distinguished Nazism was that it forthrightly included a worldview we
now associate almost completely with the political left: identity
politics. This was what distinguished Nazism from doctrinaire communism,
and it seems hard to argue the marriage of one leftist vision to
another can somehow produce right-wing progeny." -- Jonah Goldberg

“It's not a question of if, it's a question of when."
- CENTCOM General Lloyd Austin speaking of an EMP attack
on America's electrical grid

A question of when for ISIS knows that if we truly could organize our
allies and implement a united military 'no-hands-tied-behind-our-back'
conventional ground attack against them that they not only could not
beat us but would most likely be destroyed. So where does that leave
ISIS...using their brains and not just their brawn. And brains means
attacking America from within as they already have operatives in our
country and doing said attack by getting their hands on
non-conventionally thought of weapons for ISIS knows that their ongoing
blood and guts rampage throughout the Middle East and now Europe has not
mobilized an effective nor a wholehearted response from either we here in the U.S. or
from our allies.

And they smile...the smile of 7th century barbarians wracking havoc on a 21st century world.

So now let's speak of some truths that some say are anything but truths,
and that truth is in regards to what most consider unconventional weapons, in
this case the long feared EMP (electromagnetic pulse) device. Right now
five countries are believed to have EMP devices in different stages of
readiness, but only one country is believed to currently have a
ready-to-be-launched truly workable, large scale EMP device and that
country is Israel. And it's believed that they have both Jericho III
missiles capable of detonating a single EMP as well as their version of our Boeing
CHAMP (Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile)...a
non-nuclear EMP missile...ready to go. But thankfully, Israel
understands the severity of what they possess, and I believe Israel
would only use an EMP device as a weapon of next to last resort, and
only before having no choice but to launch either a full-scale nuclear attack
or a massive conventional attack against those whose wishes have become tangible actions to wipe them off the
face of the map

And while a number of Air Force officials have confirmed that we have successfully
tested our version of an EMP device courtesy of our CHAMP system, the
fact is that we lag behind Israel in its readiness for war. And as for
Russia, they too have tested their version of EMP devices, but they are
not 'large area' in scope according to reports that have surfaced. And
according to a declassified government report, China also appears to have tested a
successful prototype of an EMP device in their effort to offset their
still inferior technological war-making capabilities.

Now for a few facts about what an EMP device can do. First, an
electromagnetic pulse is generated by the interaction of non-lethal
gamma rays with the magnetic field in the atmosphere and the Earth, thus
producing a powerful electromagnetic shock wave that can destroy
electronic devices within seconds.

Second, a weaponized though
physically non-lethal pulse detonated high up in the atmosphere would
allow said 'pulse' to radiate to a much larger area than would the
fallout from a tradition nuclear weapon...in fact it could spread so far
that it can extend beyond what's called the 'curve of the horizon',
thereby allowing for more power grids to be taken down. Third, with the
'pulse' acting like a radio signal...a signal carrying thousands of
volts of power...the all important water pumping and sanitation
stations; television and radio stations; computers along with all
internet communications; manufacturing plants; cars, rail and aircraft;
cable, power and telephone wires; etc...in the country or area affected
act like 'receiving' antennas and simply go down almost immediately.

Welcome to the Dark Ages in the blink of an eye and it's courtesy of the afore mentioned 7th century barbarians now equipped with 21st century weapons.

But now let's focus specifically on the United States and how an EMP
device...and to a lesser extent a major cyber-attack...relates to the
biggest threat we face today...radical islamic terrorism via ISIS.

Fact: we all know ISIS is already here thanks to Barack HUSSEIN Obama's
not doing a thing of substance to stop them...in fact he lays out the
welcome mat for his favorite 'JV team'...and we all know that ISIS has
already threatened some of our infrastructures to one degree or another.
Now couple that with our known to be under par grid security system and
our for all intents and purposes open southern border, and this
translates into our electric grid being fairly easy for ISIS to target.

And that leads us directly to the fifth country believed to either
have or are near having a workable EMP device and that is North
Korea...the rogue nation ruled by the mad, highly unstable, man-child
Kim Jung-un. And with North Korea now believed to be capable of
producing a nuclear warhead small enough to be launched atop a KN-08
intercontinental ballistic missile...courtesy of their working
relationship with Iran and Pakistan...if they do have even a small
workable EMP device there is no reason to believe that they would not
sell either the technology or an actual device itself to ISIS for the
right price, after all we know they are helping Iran get nukes even as I
write this.

And know that with a rouge nation like North Korea willing to sell their
wares and weapons to any country or persons willing to pay the price
asked, ISIS truly becomes an enemy to be feared for their war chest is
in the billions and they can easily pay to have America, with its
already giant Obama-allowed bulls-eye painted upon us, to be a target
ripe for easy picking. And all it takes for them to do so is to connect
with the very rouge nation that hates America enough to be willing to
sell them both the device and the delivery system itself.

And it's not just an EMP attack that we have to fear from ISIS for we
know that ISIS is getting more and more computer literate what with many
highly educated Westerners now joining their ranks. But what most don't
know is that an EMP attack or even a well-calibrated and coordinated
cyber attack on just nine of our 55,000 electrical substations could
cause electrical blackouts for up to 18 months across the entirety of
our country. And how so...because our entire electric grid system is
linked together and that 'open-source' computer models do exist online
for any and all to access that show said grid system, making it easy for
a computer savvy person to figure out from those models which nine
sub-stations are central into taking down the entire system.

And here's a truly scary thought...in an EMP attack the 'entire system'
would include the electronics that control our nuclear power plants,
meaning we would have no way to shut them down or regulate and adjust their
cooling systems causing these plants to eventually reach critical
state...critical mass...and 'melt down'...releasing nuclear material in
explosions similar to what not long ago happened in Fukushima, Japan.

Nice huh...

And returning to the reality of a large-scale ISIS cyber attack, how-to
'hack' software can easily be bought on the black market...software that
could be used to 'hack' some of the estimated 500,000+ potential U.S.
targets associated with power plants, water treatment plants, traffic
control towers, and other key areas of our electrical grid. And while
ISIS would probably never acquire the 'hacking' capability of being able
to cause our entire grid to fall, they could acquire the capability to
take out individual targets, causing a blackout or disruption of service
at the local level.

But even a local level cyber attack would cause panic and damage that would
take a great amount of time to fix...and as one fix is completed another
attack could be done against another locality leading to a domino
affect straight down the line.

So while you now are aware of the dangers we face from ISIS either
getting the capabilities to attack our country via an EMP device or
through a cyber attack here's something even more grievous...as for a
cyber attack a couple of years ago Obama signed one of his 'pen and
phone' executive orders supposedly to guard our critical infrastructure
against cyber attacks but no monies have been allocated or legislation
has moved forward to do so. And get this...experts say that it would
only cost around $2 billion dollars to insulate our entire electrical power
grid from an EMP attack, and again Obama has done not a thing nor has he
allocated any monies to do so as he's too busy trying to take our guns
away and he's too busy allocated monies to bring even more of his
brethren into our country to deal with the here and now tangible threat
ISIS poses to our country.
